| Abstract | ||
| The importance of peanut crop is due to an increase in the land cultivated with this crop during the last years. whereas the annual average of the area reached about 130.3 thousand feddan during the period 1997-2002. This led to the need of studying the distribution of the areas allocated for this cultivation, and is the distribution done according to the criterion of productivity worthiness in the areas of production or to some standards of relative productivity but the most importance are the standards of the cost of the productive unit and the net income per feddan. Some of statistic analysis methods have been apptied such as variation analysis and Dinkan method to compare productivity averages per feddan during the period 1997-2002 for more important producing governorates and some following results have been achieved: 1- It has been proved statistically, that there is moral variation among feddan productivity in more important producing governorates and it was possible to classify production regions to four productive locations: the first include Assyout and Sohag Govemortes, the second include: Ismailia and Giza Governorates besides the new lands, the third include: AL Beheira and AI Menya Governorates and the last one include AI Sharkia Govemorate. 2- The Governorates of Sohag, Assyout and AI Behiera, besides the new lands are less in the cost of producing one ardab of this crop. 3- The results showed also that the Governorates of Sohag, Assyout and AI Beheira were the highiest in the valaue of feddan net income. 4- For what mentioned above, it is worthily in production and economy to increase concentration of crop cultivation in the first and the second regions: Assyout, Sohag, Ismailia, Giza and in the new lands. The expansion in crop cultivation in the new lands must be encouraged if over productivity will be achieved relatively and reducinq the cost of ardab production compared to the old lands for the producing governorates in the two productive regions the third and the fourth. with the aim of improving uses and directives of the economic resources, especially the land to achieve productive and economic efficiency in producing peanut in Arab Republic of Egypt. | ||
